Homeowner found online solution to conservatory leak
19th January 2016

An installer got a bit of unexpected advice when a homeowner not only reported a leaky conservatory but also suggested a solution.

The roof had been made with two separate units joined with a muntin bar because of its 3.3metre length. But when it began to leak after only four months, the homeowner took the initiative and told the installer how toughened glass manufacturer TuffX could provide the appropriate glass in lengths up to 4.2 metres.

The installation company had been approached by a homeowner after his conservatory roof had started leaking four months after installation. The conservatory roof had a total length of 3.340mm and had been roofed using two separate units joined with a muntin bar. The homeowner was understandably disappointed and keen to have the problem solved as quickly as possible.

The installer was convinced and the result was a roof that was not only watertight but neater looking and with a minimal cost difference.

TuffX supplied an Ambi-Blue conservatory glass roof. The glass is self-cleaning and offers up to 60% reduction from the sun’s heat rays, reducing the internal temperature of a conservatory in summer.
